“Paul is good. He was house sitting my two fur babies while I was away. Paul works from 7AM to 1PM and comes back to the house after that which I don’t mind since my fur babies can hold for 4/5 hours. He took good care of them both.”
“Jasmin has watched our dogs before and she always does such a great job. One of our dogs is on a raw diet with probiotics galore and she does great with all the instructions. Such a lifesaver to have her stay in our house as our senior dog has never stayed anywhere else. We are blessed to have found her as our go-to gal! She gets our mail and keeps our plants alive which is just an added bonus! Thank you!”
About: I've taken care of animals since i was a child. From dogs to cats I've gained experience working, playing with and taking care of pet animals. Majority of my experience is with dogs of all sizes and breeds. Currently I am in the process of getting a full time job, so I'll be able to take care of your pups all day on my days off and before and after I work! I prefer to care for pets in their home where they are comfortable, in the exact way the client does when they take care of their pets. If the client has a set routine, then I'll follow it, otherwise I care for the pets by making sure they potty, eat food, playtime/go for a walk and clean any messes they may make.
“Jenny was amazing with Oddy, she went above and beyond, I’m very grateful for the love and care she gave to Oddy also she kept me posted with beautiful pictures , I will contact her in the future , I highly recommend her, thank you Jenny”
About: Since I was a little girl I been around dogs. My brothers dad had a Rottweiler so growing up Tyson was always around us. As I got older either friends or family members had pets. Weather it was cats, guinea pigs, hamsters or fishes you name it. I love being around animals it’s so therapeutic and joyful to me. I am available for dog walking Monday-Friday hours btw 8am-8pm. Pet sitting at least a week in advance sometimes last minute is ok with me. I make sure they are fed have they water are taken out for the day twice maybe even three times of the day. If it’s nice out we can go to the park play run around hey active. If we are indoor I can still play and interact with your pet to make sure they are happy.
About: RED ROVER, RED ROVER, let your FURBABIES come over! I am a redheaded, animal lover, that is available weekdays and weekends. I can be as active or as sedentary as the dog wants. Animals have been apart of my every day life for the past 40+ years. Our family loves animals so much, my son became a veterinarian from Texas A&M. He brought home all kinds of animals. I am a true nurturer and love all types of dogs and will be with them every moment. I am a trusted sitter by my family and friends and would like to expand my services to others. Your pup will be in amazing hands. I am a retired teacher, so I have a very flexible schedule. If your pet needs constant care or frequent walks and potty breaks, I am your sitter! I can be as active or sedentary as necessary. I love to cuddle and go for walks. There is a doggy park in my apartment complex that offers obstacles and clean surfaces for the pup to enjoy. If the dog is more seniored, we can cuddle and hangout at home! I do not have any other pets, so it would just be me! I am in an apartment complex, but on the first floor with a patio. I can board and provide day care!
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I provided dedicated senior care for my chocolate Labrador, Copper, who lived to the incredible age of 18. Today, I have two pit bull mixes that join me on hiking adventures throughout the year, and I even harness-trained my kitten for outdoor adventures. I treat every pet like family and understand that each has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. Whether they're energetic or need a little extra care, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I am currently a wedding photographer in off season and have pretty good availability during the week for pet sitting. I typically work weekends but with enough notice and special occasions I'm flexible. I have one high energy dog and one older dog. So daily walks are a must. Sometimes separate and sometimes together. Our walks are typically 1 to 2 miles. I have two friendly dogs at home but I do have smaller home and a husband with allergies. So in my own home would probably be a case by case basis. As for other people's home's I'm flexible and respectful of house rules.
“Jordyn was amazing! My dogs were very comfortable with her. She communicated and sent pictures of my dogs daily! She left my home very clean and even cleaned up after the dogs in the backyard! Highly recommend!!!”

About: I’m the proud owner of Skye, my friendly 6-year-old pedigree Labrador. Being around dogs isn’t just something I enjoy — it’s second nature, and I couldn’t imagine life without them. I pride myself on only taking one dog at any time to ensure they have the best care and my full attention throughout their stay! Having recently moved from the UK, I’m currently enjoying a career break while settling into my new home. After 25 years in the aviation industry, I now look forward to spending quality time with Skye and providing loving, attentive care to your pets. I am very flexible and can provide care 7 days a week. Your furry friend’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I provide a secure, fully fenced backyard with plenty of grass for playtime, and my home is dog-friendly and welcoming. You can trust me to care for your pet with love and attention, and I’m happy to provide as many—or as few—updates as you like so you can stay connected while you’re away.
About: I’ve cared for friends and family’s pets. They depend on me to bathe, brush their hair, check for fleas, feed them, give them treats and take dogs on walks. I’m currently working other flexible jobs, so I have time to care for pets at this time. I have time to visit, have sleep overs at their home, have visits to feed them and walk them. I am able to care for your pets safely and you can trust me because I am very detailed oriented and pay attention to anything that may be dangerous for your pets.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages from puppies to senior dogs. Growing up we always had dogs around. I’m currently renting a home and miss having a dog. I work on a hybrid schedule and would love to fill time with more dog walks. Also I have lots of free time on weekends. I’ve babysat for friends and family in their homes. No need to make dogs / cats leave their safe space. I grew up with animals and have been around them my whole life.
“Jess provided a lot of pics and videos of our cat while she stayed with him. She is an excellent communicator. She had cats of her own so was very familiar with how to handle and sit for a cat. I would definitely recommend her as a rover sitter. Will hire her again!”
“Bria took care of my 3 dogs at my house for the weekend. They all loved her and had a great time while we were away. Most importantly, they were safe and we knew they were in good hands.”

About: I love animals. I own 3 dogs and I’ve been told by strangers that their dogs have taking a liking to me. I’m very good with animals and kids too. I’ve had several dogs before so I know what a responsibility taking care of them are , but seeing them wag their little tails and jumping around is a reward. I’m an outgoing , determined , social & communicative person. I’m also very straightforward and caring. Many people have told me I’m the person they come to first if they need anything, because I’m always that person you can count on. Let’s just say I have a way with words like nobody else, and that is the reason people see me as the great person i am.
“Jairo took great care of my girls and my home. He was a great communicator, sent picture updates, took them on lots of fun walks and made sure they were happy and tucked in at night. It was very nice coming home to happy dogs and and a clean home, and made my trip much more enjoyable having peace of mind with regular updates.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Greatwood
Monika house-sat for our Husky, Pitbull and our cat for 17 nights while we were overseas, and she was outstanding. Daily photo updates without us asking, consistent cleaning and feeding schedules, and all animals were calm and healthy when we got home — which says everything after two-plus weeks. Zero worries the entire trip, and for an international trip that peace of mind is worth more than the booking fee. We'll rebook her without hesitation.
This was my first experience with Rover, and I’m truly so impressed. My dog unexpectedly had surgery, and I needed to hire someone to watch him when I attended a wedding to ensure he didn’t scratch/lick his wounds as he is a little MacGyver and manages to get out of every cone known to man. Insert Britteny saving the day! She was willing to help with a last minute request, and she was SO attentive to Benny. She sent me so many pictures which eased my anxiety so much, and gave Benny his pain and antibiotic medication regimen without any hiccups. She graciously accepted every request I had, and went above and beyond. The proof was really the fact that in many of the pictures, Benny is curled up cuddling Britteny. I would absolutely recommend Britteny for any of your dog walking/watching needs! Both Benny and I can’t wait to ask for her help again soon.

The average cost of House Sitting in Greatwood is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $81 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Greatwood walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Greatwood maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Greatwood choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
